Now DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS has proven that Marvel can do Horror. It has been a known fact for decades that the genre could be handled properly in the comics but not before now that this could be translated onto the big screen. (DC has had greater success with its Horror properties.…

The entity created by Robert E. Howard (of CONAN THE BARBARIAN fame), Shuma-Gorath, is one big, nasty piece of work. A Cthulhu-esque interdimensional creepazoid thingy obviously based on Cthulhu, immensely powerful, more or a less a god. No way, then, would Shuma-Gorath be *anybody’s* minion, no matter how powerful that person might be. In DOCTOR…

H.P. Lovecraft put his works into the public domain before his death, but even if he hadn’t enough time has passed that those works would have entered the public domain anyway. That’s why anybody can, and pretty much everybody has, done their own thing with Cthulhu and the larger Lovecraft mythos. Sam Raimi made full…

SPOILER WARNING for DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS. My favorite character in the film is Zombie Doctor Strange. Granted this is still *our* Doctor Strange I’m talking about. This isn’t the brain-munching version of the character from the Marvel Zombies universe. It’s our Doctor Strange temporarily possessing the rotting corpse of an alter…

Out of every Marvel movie that has come down the turnpike thus far, DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS is the one that most ought to appeal to the Horror faithful, and to the vampire marks in particular. It doesn’t have a vampire in it, but it does have a zombie. Oh, and there…

Not that a mummy laid an egg, no. Rather these are the sort of eggs that a mummy would have eaten, presumably before becoming a mummy. A dish called “eggah” if you will. From the linked article: “Eggah is the Egyptian version of a baked egg omelet. Archeologists have found that ancient Egyptians have been…

The war of words continues, and I have yet to hear from the folks at the Waverly Hills Historic Society. The folks from the “Save Waverly Hills” group, on the other hand, are happy to talk to us. They’ve released a new video that should be of interest to everyone who cares about the Waverly…

It can only be drawn from its sheath by night, or at the “Gates of Hel” [SPOILER WARNING: that ends up being inside a volcano], and it craves blood. [And boy does it get it!] The sword is called Draugr, which is also what one calls the mound-dwelling revenants of Nordic mythology; Amleth, hero of…

There’s a zombie in THE NORTHMAN. There are also witches and a vampire sword. I penned (well, keyboarded) an article this week over at our sister site WEREWOLVES.COM pointing out why it is a werewolf movie. (It is.) And in a separate article here on this site this week I profile that aforementioned vampire sword.…

It’s not too much of a surprise, but it’s still a nice bit of news to receive. With VENOM there was no room for doubt at all. VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE was just a monster hit (pun intended) and Venom is Sony’s biggest cash-making comic machine next to Spider-Man. And Sony doesn’t have to…
